Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Fall 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/20/2022
Offered here and having been stored in two thick binders are close to 1200 O-Pee-Chee cards from the first half of the 1980s and that of course means plenty of Wayne Gretzky/Oilers action. Wayne’s second-year OPC card (#260) is VG-EX and joins Mark Messier (low grade (P) filler) and Ray Bourque (EX+) rookie cards in an ’80-81 assemble, with most cards appearing to be in the EX vicinity and the Oilers Team Leaders/checklist card (G) the only marked checklist spotted. Displaying superior characteristics overall is an ’81-82 set, with EX+ and better cards dominating and rookie cards of Paul Coffey (EX+) and Jari Kurri (EX), along with 106-Gretzky (EX) most noteworthy. An EX-MT+ Grant Fuhr RC is best among the key rookie cards in an ’82-83 gathering, with 106-Gretzky VG-EX and Ron Francis RC a creased low grade filler. Intermittent corner touches/dings are observed among the rest, mostly EX+ to NM. Completing is an ’83-84 set, the vast majority of it appearing NM-or-better, although a Pelle Lindbergh RC (EX-MT) and 223-Messier/Gretzky (VG+) are condition exceptions. A nifty bonus is a 3-Mike Bossy card, graded GEM MT 10 by PSA, with a few light scratches to the holder to note.
